Fast Food Nation The Decline is Noticable

Attention shareholders of McDonalds! I have stopped eating at your restaurants. That decline in stock valuation is a direct result of my not eating at your (and any other fast food companies) restaurants for over one month! My statement of not eating food served through a window has been held on for for the entire month of January!

Ok so I am really not losing all that much weight. I am not feeling all that much better (more on that in another post) but I feel so much better about myself that I cannot place a value on this. I used to eat food through the window when I was stressed and unhappy. It was my secret defiant F Off to people in my life who I were allowing to take too much control of my life. Since that person (and she knows who she is) is no longer in my life (and has not been for over six months) I am feeling better and better all of the time. The time came to send Ronald and Company packing. The results have been outstanding.

Besides not eating all of that processed food (mostly processed corn) I am saving upwards of $150.00 a month! Enough money to make a big impact on my food budget. Buying and eating foods with less ingredients have been a enjoyable challenge for me. I am truly blessed to have such supportive friends who have helped me over the past few months begin the journey to a balanced healthy diet. Having the extra money allows me to purchase better quality foods. No longer do I shop with only an eye on the purchase price. I am now keeping an eye on the personal price I will pay for the items I put in my shopping basket. Getting the teenagers in my house on board with this has been interesting but we are making good progress.

This month I have decided that I need to reduce by 50% my coffee consumption. Not to worry Starbucks you will still sell 3 pounds of coffee to me a month. Not the 6 or 7 I was buying. Oh, and I am going to go back to decaf too! My goal is to replace the morning coffee with water and tea. I love coffee and I will not quit drinking it. I am just going to expand my beverage horizons.

Well that is all for tonight. Those of you with stock in McDonalds seriously sell, sell, sell! The purveyor of processed corn has lost another sucker.....

Best,
